TikTok has taken a new step in integrating its platform with other services. The company behind the popular video app announced new developer tools that promise to incorporate useful features. The most important will allow you to use your TikTok account to log into other apps .
Through this software development kit, third-party services will allow people to log in with their TikTok username and password . It is an alternative similar to the one already offered by Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat or Google, among others.
An interesting aspect of this utility is that it will not only serve to log in, but also to integrate the content created on TikTok into other applications. The service released the list of platforms compatible with this SDK, which includes PUBG, Streamlabs and Allstar , among others.
“A As TikTok becomes more and more ingrained in the culture, more third-party apps They seek to take advantage of our community on their own platforms, “said Isaac Bess, global director of Distribution Associations of the social network.
Tools of this type have positive and negative aspects. On the one hand, allow access to websites, games or applications without the need to create a new username and password . This prevents users from feeling overwhelmed by the amount of data they must memorize or save.
In return, third-party apps can access the public profile and videos of people who log in using their TikTok data. The social network ensures that other platforms will not access other information, but a history of privacy issues can be a problem.
